The last few weeks have been a wild ride, driven by a changeable macro background and extreme volatility within precious metals.

However the S&P 500 Consumer Staples sector has been rallying in the background ,the whole time.

In fact, it’s up +9.39% over 1 month and by + 11.30% over 3 months

Not a bad return from stocks which are supposedly staid and boring.

I am wondering if UK names like Unilever ULVR LN and Reckitt RKT LN could, benefit from the US sectors strength, and play catch-up? See the comparative charts below.
